Chapter 290: Leading the minister into the urn, tit for tat
"Selling sesame biscuits, sesame biscuits."
"Candied haws on a stick is sour and sweet. If you eat it, you will definitely make a lot of money. Candied haws on a stick is sweet and sour. If you eat it, you will be happy every day."
"Don't miss it when you're passing by. If you have money, you can support yourself. If you don't have money, you can support yourself. Let's do a Tongtiansuo today to open your eyes."
........
After Tie Tang and the others left Yanchun Tower, they didn't go anywhere and just wandered around in the street.
Seeing the current situation of Guangjiang City at this time made Tie Tang feel slightly relieved.
If the world is not in chaos and the foundation of the people has not been shaken, then the foundation of the country is still there.
"Quick report! Quick report!"
"The Prime Minister of Jiuyao County has fornicated with a cult and brought disaster to Jiuyao. He has been scheduled to be beheaded in public in three days."
A man was walking by slowly with a carriage. The carriage was filled with rolls of rice paper, piled up like a mountain, which immediately attracted the attention of many pedestrians.
Tie Long smiled and said: "Hey, sir, this is Guangjiang City's replica of Jiu Yao's newspaper. It may be a little inferior in terms of craftsmanship, but at least it gives everyone something to read."
Tie Tang didn't pay attention, but paid attention to the information the newspaper seller said.
This kind of thing spreads all over the world, and sometimes it may not be a good thing.
Especially when government officials are involved in cults, they are extremely sensitive, which may make people think wildly and make them panic.
"The county magistrate of Yicheng, after all, is also an eighth-rank official. He will be beheaded if he says so..." Tie Tang caught a subtle aura.
This is a power struggle between the imperial court and the Supervisory Palace.
As the two major violent law enforcement agencies in the Great Shang Dynasty, the Supervisory Palace even has the power to rule, calibrate, and approve new laws.
Its authority is actually far superior to that of the Inspection Department.
The trinity of legislation, judiciary and law enforcement is actually contrary to common sense.
The final judgment, approval, and punishment of all criminals must be made by the Supervisor.
Any other agency or official only has front-end law enforcement power at most, and the final review still needs to be judged by the Supervisory Hall.
And this time the Jiuyao County Magistrate was beheaded in the street, it was obviously not the work of the Supervisory Palace.
Others might not be able to see anything, including Tie Long and Tie Hu, who also thought it was normal. However, as an inspector, Tie Tang immediately caught the subtle aura.
The subordinates of the human king, or the human king, or the entire court!
Secretly testing the bottom line of the Supervisory Hall.
This time we can cross the Overwatch Hall, but what about next time?
What about next time?
It's best not to set a precedent, as one thing always leads to another.
Once a precedent is set, it will be like a flood that bursts out of control.
"It seems that I am not easy to do as an inspector... No wonder the superiors even invited Brother Su to come out."
The overwhelming power of the Overwatch Palace comes from the Human Emperor.
Now that the Human Emperor seems to be absent, all civil and military officials in the court are eager to pull out the teeth of this evil tiger in the Overwatch Palace.
"My lord, my lord!"
Tie Long's shout interrupted Tie Tang's contemplation.
"What's the matter?"
"Tie Niu sent news that Mr. Zhao from the Zhao family has assembled a group of people to cause trouble for us."
"Master Zhao?"
"I think it's the one who snatched the woman from you earlier."
"Stealing women? You're interested... Do you know his origins?"
"The Zhao family is only second-rate in Guangjiang County. Because he is the only son of this generation, Mr. Zhao has received most of the resources of the Zhao family. He is a veritable dandy."
Tie Tang pondered for a moment and immediately knew the cause and effect.
"It's the knife I borrowed from Yan Chunlou. You can kill me later and don't kill anyone."
"Put it on us."
The three of them continued to stroll through the streets, as if nothing happened.
After half a stick of incense, a servant in gray clothes and a black hat blocked the way for the three of them.
"My young master has invited three people to come into the building to have a chat."
Tie Tang looked up.
Unknowingly, I walked into the bustling area of Guangjiang City, and next to me was a gorgeously decorated restaurant.
"Is there someone asking for a drink? I have to go, please lead the way!"
"Come with me."
Several people entered the restaurant and stopped when they reached the fourth floor.
This floor has been surrounded, and there are many people, thirty or forty people, but they are obviously all together.
Tie Tang immediately saw the unlucky guy by the window. His head was still wrapped in a white gauze scarf, and the bright red blood was blooming like a red flower.
"There's no wine here!" He calmly sat down across from him. The mahogany and jade table was empty.
When Zhao Xingchang saw Tie Tang, he felt the pain in the back of his head getting worse.
"Which path is my brother on?"
"Your Excellency..." Tie Tang is not pretending not to know him, but he really doesn't know him. He has never met him.
"That bitch Cuirou took my money and still dared to hit me. Zhao will definitely avenge her."
"It turns out it's you..."
Zhao Xingchang said arrogantly: "You ruined my good deeds, you should know what the consequences will be, but Zhao is not an unreasonable person.
In this land of romance and romance, it’s natural that we only care about real money.
This is a good thing that bitch Cui Rou did, and Zhao will not blame you."
"Then I'll take my leave!" Tie Tang stood up immediately.
Bang!
Zhao Xingchang slammed the table, shaking with anger.
"Presumptuous!"
Is this guy listening to himself?
Seeing that his young master was angry, three to forty people gathered around him, including several great witches of the soul.
This kind of strength is definitely enough to dominate an ordinary county.
Tie Tang glanced at the two old servants who were restless behind him.
"If you have something to say, say it clearly. I won't listen to these roundabout ways."
"It's simple, cooperate with me, and Zhao will forget about the past."
Tie Tang originally wanted to refuse, but suddenly an idea flashed: "Let's talk about it."
Zhao Xingchang said fiercely: "If you invite Cuirou to "Tingjiang Pavilion" outside the city, you don't have to worry about the rest."
"This is indeed not difficult...but why should I help you?"
Boom!
Zhao Xingchang pressed down with his palm, and the mahogany and jade table in front of him fell into pieces.
"If you don't cooperate with me, this is what will happen. If you manage the matter well, Zhao will be very grateful afterwards."
Tie Long watched Zhao Xingchang constantly hovering on the edge of committing suicide, and felt a cold sweat in his heart.
As long as someone could see the cultivation of himself and Tie Hu, Zhao Xingchang would not dare to say such a thing.
"There are many friends and many roads. I also want to open up a few things in Guangjiang County. Whatever, I will follow your wishes this time." Tie Tang went down the slope to eat.
"That's right. Our Zhao family also has some influence in the local area. If we cooperate with Zhao, you will benefit from it in the future."
Tie Tang laughed loudly, stood up and left waving his folding fan.
"Sir, this matter is not easy to handle."
"We have to do it only if it is difficult. Otherwise, why would Brother Su ask me to come here?"
Tie Long and Tie Hu were a little confused, they clearly didn’t mean that.
Tie Tang took them back to Yanchun Tower without explaining, met Cuirou again, and proposed to invite her to go out and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Guangjiang River.
When Cui Rou saw Tie Tang returning intact, she didn't know what she was thinking, but she was naturally unwilling to accompany this rough guy out.
"Your Excellency, please come back, little lady..."
Before she could finish her words, she was blocked by a crystal clear ruby in Tie Tang's hand.
"I am alone, and I feel a little bored. Wouldn't it be a great thing in the world to have a beautiful woman by my side?"
Cui Rou did not refuse easily this time.
If it were an ordinary yellow and white thing, that would be fine, but this red jade is very much like the Blood Linglong that contains the true blood of Kirin.
Compared with other natural and earthly treasures, the effect of Blood Exquisite itself is not too high.
But it's very rare!
It needs a special geographical environment to form, especially the main reason for the formation of Xue Linglong...Qilin True Blood!
That is an absolutely rare treasure. After all, who would dare to use a knife on Qilin easily?
"Since the young master is interested, the little girl has to obey." Cuirou took the bloody exquisite piece from Tie Tang's hand.
After turning my back, I took a closer look and tried my magic power, and I immediately knew that this was true.
"The fourth aunt is right, this guy is really a fat sheep, should I kill him..."
The two of them had their own secrets, but on the surface they were like close friends, and they walked out of Yanchun Tower chatting and laughing.
Tie Tang was not anxious, but patiently took Cuirou on a garden tour in Guangjiang City, and even asked her to show the way and lead him around the beautiful scenery of Guangjiang.
After talking for a long time, Cuirou also discovered that this person was not as rough as he appeared. He seemed to be involved in astronomy and geography, especially his understanding of newspapers, people's livelihood, and even the sun and the cold moon, which gave her some fresh insights. p>
We stayed like this until dusk, when the sunset faded and the moon first appeared.
"Guangjiang City, Guangjiang City, I heard that there is a real dragon lurking in the big river outside the city. Is it true?"
Cuirou covered her mouth and smiled: "Where did the real dragon come from? At most, there are some dragons. The dragon's shadow can't be seen, let alone a real dragon."
"The beautiful scenery of the country and mountains is so beautiful that if you can listen to the waves on the shore and lie drunk in a street pavilion, it will be a wish."
"What's so difficult about this?"
"There is a "Tingjiang Pavilion" outside the city, which is a good place for viewing."
Tie Tang was delighted when he heard this: "In that case... please ask the girl to lead the way."
A group of four people walked leisurely and slowly left Guangjiang City. Less than five miles outside the city, there was indeed a magnificent pavilion standing there.
"I enjoy the scenery with my beautiful lady, and I don't want others to interfere."
Tie Long immediately understood his intention, pretended to be an evil servant and came forward, driving away all the other people.
Tie Tang and Cui Rou walked to the middle of the courtyard and looked at the blue river in the distance that looked like a real dragon. They suddenly felt relaxed and broad, and the long-standing qi in their chests was swept away.
"Guangjiang City is famous for the Guangjiang River. There was a rumor that there was a world under this river, which was called the Milky Way falling from the sky.
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is currently the best app to use, change the source app, .huanyuanapp install the latest version.]
Young Master, do you want..."
Having said this, Cuirou frowned and sensed the presence of many people nearby.
She reacted immediately and looked at Tie Tang angrily.
"Are you cheating on me?"
Tie Tang sat down in the pavilion with his big horse and golden sword, and waved the folding fan in his hand: "each other, each other."
"Hahahaha~"
Zhao Xingchang led the ambush men and slowly surrounded the entire Tingjiang Pavilion.
"People say bitches are ruthless and actors are unrighteous. My original teachings are just rumors. Today I know that the ancients were sincere and did not deceive me."
"Miss Cuirou... stay well!"
Cui Rou looked around and finally focused on Tie Tang: "There are some tricks, but... you think you can escape?"
Tie Tang deliberately pretended to be angry: "If you don't introduce me, I have no choice but to cooperate with him."
"You fell out so quickly?"
"Okay, Zhao likes to watch this scene the most."
"Brother Zhao, I have brought you here, as promised before..."
Zhao Xingchang laughed proudly: "Easy to say, easy to say, it will be all right. When you get to the underworld, I will burn everything for you if you don't leave any behind.
Go ahead and kill these adulterers and adulterers!"
It was expected by Tie Tang that he turned his face and refused to recognize anyone, but at this time he was in a bit of a dilemma.
I have put myself layer by layer, and there is a drama within the drama. Now... what expression should I show?
Before he could figure it out, Cuirou's voice transmission reached his ears.
"Get me out, I'll pretend this never happened."
She knew that the two old servants behind Tie Tang were from the magical realm and definitely had the ability to escape from the siege.
Unexpectedly, Tie Tang turned around and hid behind Tie Hu, vividly portraying his greed for life and fear of death.
Cui Rou had previously borrowed the knife to kill people, and wanted to see how strong Tie Tang was. Now that Tie Tang had planned to return it, he also wanted to see how strong Cui Rou was.
Zhao Xingchang's ambush this time was not only as simple as the Yuanshen Great Witch, but also invited two divine wizards. It can be said that they were fighting the lion against the rabbit, and they also tried their best.
On the surface, this kind of strength is already absolutely crushing.
"Sir...we?" Tielong secretly transmitted the message, not knowing how to deal with it.
"Let's wait and see what her methods are. It's probably not that simple. At this moment, she's still acting like me."
Tie Tang himself definitely didn't take any action, so he huddled behind Tie Hu, pretending to be shocked and annoyed.
More than a dozen soul shamans, led by two shamans from the secret realm, launched a fierce offensive towards the four people in Tingjiang Pavilion.
The two wizards saw through Tie Long and Tie Hu's cultivation, realized the difficulty of their opponents, and subconsciously focused their attacks on Cuirou.
Compared to the two old servants, this prostitute is much easier to deal with.
A mere witch of the soul can be suppressed with a backhand.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The beautiful Tingjiang Pavilion was smashed to pieces, and I don’t know when it will be rebuilt.
The terrifying offensive from the mysterious realm of the witch made Cuirou look embarrassed and could only use her best footwork to escape from the cracks.
Although she is a great witch of the soul, not everyone in the world is Tie Tang, and not everyone is a top performer.
It is unimaginable for the Secret Realm of Witchcraft and Wizardry to compete with the Secret Realm of Divine Witchcraft.
"Hold the moon!"
A huge arm appeared in the void, with strong bones and full of energy and blood, as if it were reaching out to embrace the moon, and it killed all four people in the pavilion.
"Master Su, if I die, you should know what your crime is!" Cuirou was shocked and angry, and scolded Tie Tang sharply.
Tie Tanghun didn't care and continued to practice Tai Chi crazily: "I didn't know that this scoundrel Zhao Xingchang wanted to kill even me.
Now that the two magic witches are attacking, Su cannot protect himself, please forgive me."
"Don't worry, young master, I will be able to protect you from the siege." Tie Long got addicted to drama and began to forcibly insert his own lines.
Boom! Boom!
Tingjiangting has completely become a thing of the past.
Cuirou vomited blood, was injured by Lan Yue's hand, and had to fend off the great witch of the soul. She was in unspeakable pain for a while.
Tie Tang himself had no blood, so he secretly reached out and cut Tie Hu's body with a knife, drawing hot blood and smearing it on his mouth and clothes, pretending to be hit by the aftermath.
As for Iron Tiger...
What else can he do?
It can only use its own vitality and magic power to quickly heal the wound and pretend that nothing happened.
The four of them fought and retreated. Iron Dragon and Iron Tiger used almost all their strength to resist the two witches from the secret realm.
Their strength is not strong, and is even slightly weaker. It can be said that they are on par with the two people sent by Zhao Xingchang.
"All adulterers and adulterers deserve to die!"
Zhao Xingchang touched the flat back of his head, feeling quite happy that a great revenge had been avenged.
However, he was surprised when he saw that Tie Long and Tie Hu, two old servants, were also magic witches.
"Fortunately, my fourth uncle mentioned it and wanted to come with me, otherwise the boat would have capsized in the gutter."
Poof!
A spear pierced Cuirou's chest and abdomen, and blood flowed out along the body of the spear.
Her face was frightened and panicked, but her heart was extremely calm. She looked at Tie Tang, who had been hiding behind Tie Hu, cowering.
"This guy...seems to be really lost."
Immediately, she moved lightly, ignoring the severe pain in her abdomen, exited the scope of the gun, and waved her hand towards the void.
